I have been to 20+ zoos and this is my favorite. Due to it's nature as part botanical garden it is very well landscaped and just beautiful to be in. There is a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes.

The animal enclosures are large, include many enrichment activities, and provide a great view for guests to observe. I love coming here and sometimes wish I lived closer just so I could come more frequently.

Parking was convenient and ample. You also get a discount on entry if you have a membership with other AZA associated zoos.

There's also a little theater section that has movies geared toward small children if you need a break.
